How much head space is to much head space. I currently have a Flanders that have been done for a while. I have a feeling 5 gallons will be done and gone way to soon. I wanted to try and make a bigger batch that will be a Sudo Solera and start with 10 gallons. I found a 15 gallon fermentor on the bay that will fit where I need it. Is 5 gallons to much space? I really dont want to make a batch of vinegar.
